Cat Jumped In!
Author(s): Tess Weaver

When someone leaves the kitchen window open, Cat jumps in! So begins the tale of an outdoor cat who finds his way into a tidy house, wreaking havoc at every turn. That is, until he finds his way in once more--this time into someone's heart. Beautiful, bright watercolors from Caldecott-winning illustrator Emily Arnold McCully nearly spring off the page, buoyed by a playful text that highlights simple prepositions. Preschoolers will delight in Cat's unintended disasters and mess, and the heartwarming story, the product of a pairing of exceptional author and illustrator talents, will charm cat people of any age.

Review(s):
Each incident is backlit with white space as McCully's signature watercolors vigorously create the cat chaos.
Kirkus Reviews, Starred

Weaver's succinct text rings with onomatopoeia and provides a bit of suspense as readers try to infer the identity of 'someone' and to guess what Cat will do next.
